CURRENT MISSION

I'm taking time to do everything I've wanted to do and cultivate myself how I've wanted to before I give my life away to medical or graduate school

ABOUT ME

I'm a native of the south. I've been agonizing over whether to get a History PhD or go to med school. I thought I had chosen grad school, in fact I'm due at Rutgers any day now, but my thinking has been changing, growing up...

PHILOSOPHY

For the sake of goodness and love, death shall have no dominion over my thoughts. (Thomas Mann, from one of my favorites: The Magic Mountain.)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've only had one group of guests so far! I lived alone then and got to decide that I wanted couchsurfers. My roommate situation before and since left me less free on this point...

Interests

playing a little boogie on this here piano; dancing but only twice a month so its always exciting, vistas and views; reading 10 books at once

• books
• dancing

Music, Movies, and Books

Lately I've been enjoying more... happy music. I used to like the really dark stuff, but lately I haven't had a taste for it. It was adolescent to think that great art comes from pain... it can also come from JOY! Fuck Joy Division; give me New Order.

Camus, Dostoyevsky, Mann are my favs forever.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Sunrise at the peak of Emeishan.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you how to work on your car, and I take every opportunity I can to take people for rides on my moped. Its so fun! My limited language skills are at your disposal. I'd really love it if you could teach me how to play my piano. I can help you gentically engineer that minature giraffe you've been wanting.
